Pedro Completes Bosko's Bounces

My only criticism Pedro, is that they are a bit too stiff or mathematical.

For example, In the first one, you traced-back his front-view head as it tilts side to side. It looks like a moving cut-out. In the original, his head is slightly different as it moves. Keep it organic!

If anyone else has done the animation, put a link in the comments and I'll check 'em out.

Hey John- I still haven't had a chance to do this exercise yet. But I did animate to beats in a simple animation that made it as a finalist in a contest on youtube. Please go here and vote for it!http://youtube.com/ranker?name=TechUOutRanker

It's the 1920's style one. I know it's lacking. I promise I'll do these exercises soon- hopefully I can come up with some better stuff-I only had 2 days to make this one.

I've always wondered if those slight little differences in each drawing had an effect on the animation. I never thought it mattered, but apparently it does. I also noticed when I drew his feet all the same the animation felt kinda stiff and couldn't really feel the beats out as much, but now I know what to do.
